Well that's really enlightening, thanks for that, I will sleep easy.


Any indication of what these police cars may have been doing there?


Any sign of Christmas trees or reindeers at all?

Surprisingly I didn't walk down hillcourt road to find out the nature of the incident as that would be rubbernecking, but I would imagine 2-3 police cars would indicate a fairly serious event

You fellows have no idea what you're missing.


On a friday night my brothers Aubery and Hephaestion pop round so we can all enjoy what you're all clearly lacking. A police scanner. The fun usually kicks off at around eightish with a few minor pot dealers being dragged off their scooters. Pub fights normally start at midnight but it all fizzles out around then. For the real 'doors flying off hinges' action, you ideally have to be up around 4 to 6 a.m.


Weekdays are pretty bare, although the takeaway connoisseurs amongst us will surely benefit from all the appreciative radio messages between officers rating the dish they've just burped through to HQ.

It is not possible to scan and listen in to police radio comms any more. This has been the case for 10 years in much of the country. Perhaps about 5 years in London.


It is still possible, however, to scan four pages of posts on a local internet forum generated by the astonishing fact of there being a helicopter, flying, in the sky.

    • I noticed more butterflies than ever this year - lots of red admirals and white ones. Couldn't understand why, then found this. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/18/big-butterfly-count-uk-numbers-recovery
    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
